After running a successful focus on marriage in February, we have decided to turn our gaze on the singletons in town. This Spiral focus will provide you with a comprehensive directory to online resources including books, events, holidays, dating websites and much more. We also feature interesting and relevant articles and opinions. Our Spiral Guest for May, Deanna Holmes, runs London Christians and will also be sharing her views on the increasing trend of being single.
